While a standard mixed drink typically contains 1.5 ounces of liquor, a drink ordered 'on the rocks' almost always contains a more generous 2-ounce pour. This difference accounts for the absence of a mixer, ensuring the drinker gets a satisfying, spirit-forward experience. The exact amount, however, can be influenced by the establishment, the quality of the liquor, and the type of glass used.
